Future of MicroLEDs: wafer level integration combining III-V devices with CMOS transistors to achieve truly monolithic microdisplay? Daniel Lepkowski and Kenneth Lee from nsc (New Silicon Corp) will join https://www.microledconnect.com/ on 29-30 NOV 2023 to explain how they are enabling and progressing technology.
Slide [2] shows the approach to front-end heterogeneous integration enabling wafer-scale CMOS+GaN LED systems. First the circuit is designed using CMOS EDA tools running a custom nsc PDK that allows designers to layout, simulate, and iterate CMOS + LED circuits like never before.
Then during the tapeout phase, the CMOS front end is produced using a properly suited 200 mm CMOS process at one of many established CMOS foundries. This front-end CMOS wafer is then integrated with an as-grown GaN-on-Si wafer using a proprietary double layer transfer technique. The wafer is then returned to the foundry where LED devices are fabricated and interconnected with CMOS devices using standard CMOS back-end processes. This enables higher interconnect densities and greater manufacturability than is possible using traditional hybrid bonding schemes.
Slide [3] shows how they have achieved this on a 200 mm silicon manufacturing line. The device cross section shows how the heterogeneous integration of CMOS and GaN-on-Si looks like on a 200mm Si wafer.
Slide [4] also shows how this integration technique can increase reliability, yield and design freedom of packaging and bonding schemes. In the traditional approach, each LED is bonded to a Si chip. In the new approach (PixelatedLightEngine™ technology), system level integration allows increasing the density of interconnects and shifts the questions of reliability and yield to silicon manufacturing lines. This is an important advance
Slide [5] shows how they enable rapid technology development through expertise in all aspects of the CMOS technology development pathway including: PDK development and implementation, hybrid III-V/Si circuit design, device physics and compact modeling, process development, and failure analysis.
